I decided to bomb Manchester with the attack of .5 kilotons or another bomb that was similar to that was the North Korean weapon tested in 2006(500 t). Estimated fatalities would be 5,460 and estimated injuries would be 20,570. The bomb did not destroy the entire city of Manchester but half of the city.
